I Have Been Riding

Being between jobs, I’ve had some extra time. I have been on the bike, but not for any long rides.

I met up with Tim, Asher, and Drew on Thanksgiving morning. Timothy joined us later. It was a cold morning. My feet didn’t stay warm. Drew had painfully cold fingers. We cut it a tad short and stopped for coffee.

Black Friday morning brought me an errand ride to Jeffersonville (not shopping). From there I rode to New Albanian to meet up with the KyMBA crew, then riding back to Louisville with them. It was interesting to use the Big Dummy as a mountain bike.

Later in the day on Black Friday, Diane and I did some bar-hopping on the tandem.

Saturday brought out the battery-powered Christmas lights for the tandem and Big Dummy. Then Diane and I rode to Apocalypse for beer.

I was supposed to race Gravel Grovel on Saturday, but I had already decided against it.

I’ve been pulling domestic duty recently. I haven’t started the new job, and Diane is working full-time. Staying home, doing dishes, and spending time with the dogs isn’t all bad – especially during cold weather.
